C227 Low-profile Marriage High-profile Slap in the Face

Things in Imperial always get out of hand. This matter could be big or small. It would depend on who had caught it.

How could Yu Longtang let such a good thing go? Those officials were all from Yu Longzi's faction.

He had actually gathered with the Crown Prince of Yunmeng Country right under the eyes of the Emperor. He must have had ulterior motives. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was accused of treason and colluding with the enemy.

Yu Longzi was still bedridden. This matter had worsened his injuries. Losing such a person in one fell swoop really made him so angry that he spat out blood. However, he just couldn't do anything.

Those people couldn't be saved. In order to prevent the Emperor from suspecting him of being disloyal, Yu Longzi had someone else accuse those people of betraying the country and colluding with the enemy.

Since they were his people, if something happened to them, they should be dealt with cleanly. Officials could still be roped in, but if the Emperor suspected them, then they would truly lose.

No matter how the two countries fought privately, on the surface, Yun Meng was on good terms with Dayong, so it was inappropriate to say that she was guilty of colluding with the enemy. When the Emperor got angry in the court, the officials involved were so scared that they didn't even dare to beg for mercy.

"Tang'er. What do you think should be dealt with?" There was only Yu Longtang in the Imperial Court. The Emperor asking him could be considered a test for him.

" Replying to the Emperor, this official thought. This matter, the crime cannot be too serious. Otherwise, it would hinder the relationship between the two countries. Furthermore, it cannot be lightly punished. He should be removed from his official post and exiled, shakedowns, and demoted his family members to commoners. Firstly, he intimidated Yun Meng. Secondly, the Emperor was kind and generous. Considering that they had worked for the court for many years, not taking his life was the Emperor's benevolence. Also, warn the other officials. " Yu Longtang had already thought of a countermeasure. He was afraid that the Emperor would not ask. Yun Sheng is Yun Meng's Crown Prince, so we can't touch him.

The Emperor stroked his beard and thought for a while. He looked at the officials and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think, dear ministers?"

"I think Second Prince's suggestion is feasible." Regarding the matter of the conversation, Mu Po. As the leader of the civil servants, when he spoke, there would naturally be people who agreed.

In fact, the Emperor had already confirmed in his heart that he was only the king and could not be too arbitrary sometimes.

The officials involved could only thank him for his kindness. It was already enough to protect the lives of the family members.

The Imperial Residence.

Mu Ruqing's life was in chaos again. Her heartache would always last for a few days.

Lord Mayor entered from the side door and was led by Changxu into the main hall.

"Greetings, Your Royal Highness, Princess." It was a necessary process to pay respects.

"Take a seat." Yu Longchen waved his hand. Lord Mayor bowed and took the opportunity to sit down.

"Your Royal Highness, the matter has been settled. I wonder what your Royal Highness has promised me..." Although Lord Mayor's official position was small, it was closely related to what had happened in the Imperial Capital. There were some things that the high officials could not do, but it was very easy for him to do.

He had always wanted to have a backer, but Yu Longtang and Yu Longzi did not like him. Yu Longchen was willing to rope him in. Not only did he give him benefits, but he also allowed him to be promoted. Why not?

"How can I go back on my word about what I promised?" Yu Longchen looked at Lord Mayor and smiled. His eyes were deep. "But have you thought about this choice? Do you want money or power?"

Mu Ruqing only watched from the side. Lord Mayor's current value was his position. If he wanted power, he would be promoted to a medium-sized official position. Without the current value, Yu Longchen would not use him anymore. He thought he could still be promoted, but he did not know that without Yu Longchen, he was nothing.

If he wanted money, then the Drunken Immortal Restaurant wouldn't be able to continue operating. However, the foundation was still there, and the interior was still there. As long as it was slightly decorated... In other words, with Yu Longchen and the Fang family, there was no need to mention the profits. It was enough for Lord Mayor's family to prosper for several generations.

"No one doesn't like money. Even though he has been an official for many years, his family is still short of money." Lord Mayor was over forty years old, and he was ambitious. He wanted to be promoted. But that official is neither big nor small. He can only maintain the life of his family now. It would be better to earn some money from the inn. He could let his family live a good life.

There would still be opportunities to be promoted. If he missed this opportunity to make a fortune, he would truly regret it.

"Since Your Excellency has an idea, This King will naturally make arrangements." Yu Longchen put down the teacup. This person could still be used.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The corner of Lord Mayor's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Don't say that. I will have to trouble you in the future. As long as you don't feel irritated." Yu Longchen's smile wasn't any less than his. He pushed the box on the table. “ Inside was the title deed of the restaurant. I'll hand it over to you today."

Lord Mayor's eyes lit up. Seeing the title deed, he could not move it away. He took a small step forward and took it. He opened it and looked at it for a while before putting it away. He cupped his hands and bowed." Thank you, Your Highness. "

"Master, quickly go and make arrangements. The earlier you come, the more money you get." Mu Ruqing only spoke at the end. Her gentle smile made people feel warm.

Lord Mayor bowed in the end and let Changxu lead him out of the palace to ensure that no one discovered him.

Time always passed very quickly. Ever since the Imperial Decree of Marriage was passed down, Mu Jun had come to the mansion once, and never left the Prime Minister's mansion again.

Mu Quan felt a bit sad. He felt sad for him, but also happy because he was unable to love him. My younger sister is dead, and my mother is also dead. As for you, you have everything. Now, you have lost the love in your heart. It was only right.

Perhaps it was because he had returned to see his loved ones who had changed, Mu Quan felt wronged in his heart. His heart became twisted, and he placed all of his anger on Mu Jun. I have been following you since I was a child. You are more outstanding than me in everything. Heh. Not now, I want to beat you, not in the military camp... Or something else.

After that, Mu Quan had only seen Mu Jun once. His beard grew out, and his hair was untrimmed. He looked decadent.

He did not see Mrs Miao, nor did he listen to anyone. Even if Mu Po said something about him, he would only listen and not change it.

On the day of the wedding, Mu Po did not go anywhere. He only sent people to deliver gifts, claiming that he was ill at home.

Yun Xi's dowry was brought from Yun Meng. The Emperor rewarded her with some, so she could follow the customs in the countryside. The wedding ceremony was all according to the Dayong's rules. She got up early to prepare, waiting for Yu Longchen to bring the sedan chair to pick her up.

Although the two of them were getting married on the same day, this place was not Yun Meng after all. The main character was naturally Yu Longyun.

Yun Xi did not mind, because her husband was Yu Longchen. At least she had married the person she liked. Yu Longyun could not ask for it. So what if she had more gold, silver, and jewelry? Wasn't he happier than her?

Yu Longyun only sat there blankly. The palace maid helped her to put on makeup. Her eyes were dull and without a soul, there was only a body.

Ling Yunfeng had long come to the Imperial Palace to pick her up. Even after waiting for two hours, he still did not see anyone come. He was happy but guilty. After that, he thought that as long as he was good to Yu Longyun, he could make her change her mind.

At this time, Yu Longyun wore the Phoenix Jade and wet nurse brought her out.

Ling Yunfeng got off the horse and smiled happily. He took Yu Longyun over.

The marriage of the royal family was a joyous occasion for the entire country.

Yun Xi had already prepared everything. It was already past the auspicious hour and no one came to pick him up.

Yun Yu and Yun Sheng were at the door, watching whether Yu Longchen had come or not. Another two hours passed, and there was still no one. Both of them were dissatisfied.

However, Yun Sheng was also somewhat happy in his heart. It was the happiest thing to see the siblings make a fool of themselves.

The group that Yu Longchen came to pick up the bride arrived. The scale was not even a third of the group that married Mu Ruqing. The best was probably the sedan carried by the eight people.

Furthermore, Yu Longchen himself did not come. He only asked Changxu to lead the horse with the red flower hanging on it.

"Where's King Chu?" Yun Yu clenched his fists and said with hatred through gritted teeth.

"His Royal Highness is ill and bedridden." Changxu also did not have a good expression. He saw Yun Xi and the others coming over. He only politely gestured for them to come over.

Yun Xi felt that it was strange, but she did not lift the red veil. This was a huge taboo.

Yun Yu just watched his sister get married, feeling wronged. His anger was caught by Yun Sheng, and his words extinguished his flames. "This is the decree of the Dayong Emperor. The Emperor of Dayong did not blame him. What can you do?"

This wedding procession kept a low profile. If they did not come out of the palace, others would think that it was just a marriage between a wealthy merchant.
